yahi to baat thi jise

yahi to baat thi jise na samajh paya tha
lifafe pe apna naam dekh muskuraya tha
kise malum tha ke likhawat ik din mit jayegi
din badlte hi unhe meri yaad tak nahi aayegi

Raha jo dil mein dhadkan ban ke,
Bichda mujhse vo bewafa ban ke.
Na ummeed rahi jeene ki ab aye doston,
Mili hamein dava bhi ek sazaa ban ke

Hame koi gam nahi tha Gam-E-Aashiqi se pehle,
Na thi dushmani kisi se teri dosti se pehle.

Hai ye meri badnasibi tera kya qasur is mein,
Tere gam ne mar dala mujhe zindagi se pehle.

Mera pyaar jal raha hai ai chand aaj chup ja,
Kabhi pyaar tha hame bhi teri chandni se pehle.

Main kabhi na muskurata jo mujhe ye ilm hota,
Ki hazaron gam milenge mujhe ek khushi se pehle.

Ye ajib imtehaan hai ki tumhi ko bhulana hai,
Mile kab the is tarha hum tumhe be-dili se pehle...
